First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
Researchers in France are recruiting 1,000 people aged 55-75 to study how eating habits influence health as we age. Participants will collect their own blood and urine samples at home, complete surveys on diet and physical activity, and perform simple functional tests. The goal is to group people by dietary patterns and provide personalized advice for healthier aging.
